When Jiang Shangyu woke up from the deepest dream, the first thing Jiang Shangyu felt was the coldness.
It's not the coldness of the temperature drop.
It was a kind of chill and stiffness that was close to the skin and almost penetrated into the bone marrow.
He frowned instinctively.
In his sight was the body of a young woman clinging to him.
The woman's appearance is very young, with fair skin, long chestnut hair, delicate facial features, and a strong mixed-race style.
It's just that at this moment, her soft body has no warmth at all, and her delicate face also has a deathly gray color. Her eyes are opened to the maximum, and the brown pupils are full of great fear and disbelief before death.
, the luxurious bed was covered with solidified blood, and now she was like a piece of ice, her body still clinging to Jiang Shangyu after death.
Jiang Shangyu's brows furrowed more and more tightly.
His fingertips seemed to be getting colder and colder, and the palm surrounding the woman's neck seemed to be bent in his sleep, and the five fingers became claw-like, completely piercing into the woman's neck.
The force seemed so strong that the originally strong woman had no time to resist and was killed instantly.
Jiang Shangyu slowly pulled his arm back, and after a long silence, he softly shouted in confirmation: "Caroline?"
There are no miracles.
Caroline's body was completely cold.
The rain on the river was quiet for a while.
It's hard to tell what kind of expression he had on his face at this moment.
There is confusion, fear, and some pain.
He sat up from the bed and looked at the corpse on the bed, his face gloomy, and bloodshot lines gradually appeared in his calm eyes.
"boom!"
His bedroom door was violently smashed by someone from outside.
Jiang Shangyu's body shook slightly and he took a deep breath subconsciously.
"Calm down."
Outside the bedroom door, a voice exactly like Jiang Shangyu's sounded: "I just fell asleep, what are you doing? Are you sick? Are you not happy to make me feel better? I'm injured and need to
Rest, rest, do you understand? In the middle of the night, did you take the wrong medicine or drink too much?"
Jiang Shangyu said nothing.
But the person outside the door received his thoughts and immediately laughed out of anger: "Shut up? I can't scold you if I close my mouth? I will scold you faster if I close my mouth. What's wrong with you?"
Don’t you have some idea of your own virtue while sleeping? I was woken up by you, and I want to recuperate, recuperate, recuperate!!!”
"Bang bang bang..."
The figure outside the door was banging on the door angrily, looking like he wanted to tear the door down.
Jiang Shangyu squinted his eyes, but still didn't speak. As his thoughts turned, the person outside the door fell silent and said, "Last night?"
"A few hours ago."
Jiang Shangyu thought silently: "What was I doing a few hours ago?"
"You're on Caroline."
The person outside the door answered directly.
"go away!"
Jiang Shangyu cursed in his heart: "I mean after that."
"It was nothing after that. I was meditating and the surroundings were quiet. Nothing happened. You also fell asleep and didn't do anything."
Jiang Shangyu's expression was a little strange, and the people outside the door sensed his mood immediately.
Irritated, doubtful, dignified, panicked.
Under such a state of mind, Jiang Shangyu remained calm on the surface, but the people outside the door became increasingly irritable.
"boom!"
The bedroom door flew open.
People outside the bedroom violently broke in through the door.
He wore an extremely large black cloak. The cloak not only covered his head and face, but also completely blocked his figure.
He strode into the bedroom. Because he and Jiang Shangyu were absolutely his, he did not hide his feelings at all.
His mood was originally the same as Jiang Shangyu's current mood.
The two of them have the same thoughts and connected emotions. Any expression he performs can be said to be an intuitive expression of Jiang Shangyu's inner emotions.
"Is that enough?! Is that enough?! You bastard! You ruined my good mood. What do you want to do? Let me ask you, what do you want to do..."
A man in black cloak rushed into the bedroom, and his voice stopped abruptly as he approached the bed.
He seemed to be stunned. He stood by the bed, looking past Jiang Shangyu and looking directly at Caroline's body on the bed. He couldn't react for a while.
Jiang Shangyu waved his hand.
The sword energy surged, and the cigar placed not far away flew directly over.
He cut the cigar and lit it.
Perhaps because he was too agitated, the thick smoke was directly inhaled into his lungs.
The choking smoke was extremely irritating. As Jiang Shangyu took a deep breath, his eyes became more bloodshot.
His feeling naturally spread to the man in black robe, who immediately started coughing violently.
"Cigar doesn't fit into your lungs."
He coughed, which seemed to have caused the injury, and his voice became hoarse: "When did we become paratroopers?"
"This joke is not funny."
Jiang Shangyu finally started to speak. He spoke slowly and in a very slow voice.
The black robe was silent for a moment.
Through the cigar smoke, he looked at the corpse on the bed, frowned, and fell into deep thought.
Caroline, this name is not very famous in the dark world. It can only be said to be slightly famous. Even during the period when Caroline was active in the dark world, she was not a very well-known figure.
.
Caroline is not very strong. She is in Thunder Realm, not even the peak of Thunder Realm.
Moreover, the potential has been exhausted, and there is basically no possibility of further breakthrough.
But she is an assistant that Jiang Shangyu relies on very much. She is good at hiding and disguising, and is good at dancing. For such a person, her professionalism is even more precious than the half-step invincibility. In every big force, such a talent is indispensable.
Or missing.
It has been nearly ten years since Jiang Shangyu conquered Caroline. After her original identity faded out of the dark world, she had four false identities in the dark world, all belonging to Caroline. She also used these four false identities to do a lot
matter.
Even when Jiang Shangyu was able to get on the line with Moraid, it was because Caroline played an extremely important role in it.
But such a person just slept with her, and she died.
Jiang Shangyu couldn't describe his feelings. It was more absurd than heartache.
"Did you kill her?"
The black robe's voice became deeper.
This meant that both he and Jiang Shangyu had managed to calm down.
"The answer is obvious, isn't it?"
Jiang Shangyu said silently and raised his fingers stained with blood.
It was this hand that stabbed into Caroline's neck last night, causing her death instantly.
"I was meditating last night."
The black robe's voice was a little solemn: "No, I have been meditating tonight. Well, to be precise, it started at eleven o'clock. You didn't rest at that time. It is now four o'clock in the middle of the night. My meditation is half
It ended an hour ago.”
"Her death time was obviously more than half an hour, and her body was completely cold."
Jiang Shangyu said calmly.
The black robe was silent for a moment, raised his hand, and said in a strange tone: "Then the problem is, during the meditation process, I did not feel that I was killing people, which means that you did not kill people.
But in fact, Caroline was indeed killed by you."
The two were silent for a while, and then they said at the same time: "Why?"
Silence again.
The atmosphere became extremely depressing.
Caroline was still lying on the bed with her eyes closed.
"Is there a possibility..."
The black robe said calmly: "Caroline was killed by someone else. Everything we experienced was an illusion arranged by others."
"Are you insulting me or yourself?"
Jiang Shangyu rubbed his eyebrows a little irritably: "I am resting with her, who can kill Caroline unknowingly by my side without me knowing?
In other words, if there really is such a person, let’s not talk about how he found this place. What did he do to kill Caroline? He was just one of my assistants. I have several assistants. If this person really exists,
Wouldn't it be better if he killed me?"
"Your statement is very convincing, but it is not absolute. At least it represents a possibility."
Black Robe said.
"The possibility of bullshit doesn't exist."
Jiang Shangyu sneered: "It's not even theoretically possible. Martial arts has an end point. I'm not far from the end now. Under such circumstances, even if Li Tianlan suddenly recovers from his injury, it's impossible to stand silently.
Kill Caroline by my side.
Li Tianlan couldn't do it, and Wang Tianzong couldn't do it either.
And they can’t find it here, if it’s not the two of them, who else could it be?”
"What if it's not martial arts?"
The black robe asked: "You have never understood the spiritual power. Are you sure there is no trap in the double coronation given to you by the Holy Emperor? Qin Weibai is also in the transcendent realm..."
"Again."
Jiang Shangyu shook his head: "They can't find me at all, and they can't even kill people around me.
The Holy Emperor, hey, seems to be cooperating with the Shengshi Fund now, but that old dog, do you really think he is willing to surrender?
If he could find me, he would never tell Li Tianlan, let alone deal with me personally...
As for Qin Weibai, I can't do anything to her, and she can't do anything to me. If she really found this place, why would she bother to kill one of my assistants?
Wouldn't it be better to tell Li Tianlan?"
"So, we killed Caroline?"
The black-robed voice was calm and quiet.
Jiang Shangyu was silent for a while: "Although I don't want to admit it, this is the only possibility."
"There is a problem between us."
The two of them, one sitting and the other standing, spoke at the same time.
Jiang Shangyu raised his hand and knocked on his head, and said softly: "I have a hunch, I know there is something wrong with me, but I never know what is wrong with me, but now it seems..."
"The problem seems obvious."
The black robe looked at him silently and said nothing.
"Caroline, I did kill her, but you didn't feel it.
Our thinking, memory, and perception are completely synchronized within such a short distance.
But you didn't feel it when I killed someone...
Compared to Caroline's death, this is the biggest problem."
The black robe said lightly: "This means that last night, at least for a certain period of time, the state of synchronous perception between us was disconnected."
Jiang Shangyu looked at the black robe and suddenly laughed: "So, at that time, you were you and I was me?"
